Re: [Jchat] How close is J to APL?

[David Lambert]

"APL and J are conceptually similar. That is, one knowing one language can
easily pick up the other. "
Verbs and rank thinking are easily transferred.  Tacit programming was new
and difficult for me, having used APL, APL2, and a VAX-VMS APL from DEC.
.QQ is quote quad, .BX is box, etceteras.
